OK next ch. and lets see if anyone got the clue i left in the last ch. ;) review and see if you are right! Anyway here is ch 3. the first part is focused on Crispin then Amber, incase you get lost. Enjoy!
Crispin looked down at the floor, seeing an image of the small village of Kul Elna, where his Amber now is residing. She's on her own now, even i can only do so much now- "argh!" he cried, falling to his knees. He grabbed at his chest panting, I don't have much strength after using the Lux Vitam. He looked back where Amber was, he can't help, but grin. She looks the same as she was born in this world, 17 years ago...
"Your strong Amber...you have seen, and been, thru so much and still ..you held on. You are the Heart, only you have fought the mendicance of life. This..everything.. was ment to happen, to prepare you for the war ahead. Now you must heal, from the fight of living, and see what only you, can see. Saving all creation. It's up to you now to reach your destiny."
Night had fallen on the village, and only torches lite the village. However, there was a swarm of lights heading toward the village in a fast pace. What's this? He thought. He managed to get a closer look at the swarm of lights, which weren't lights at all. A man on horse back in noble clothing, led what looked like an army of soldiers. What the-THE VILLAGE! He saw the point of interest and knew this was no tax collection.
Why so many soldiers? He questioned. He looked to see them reach the village, the villagers had seen them coming and were running about. The soldiers must have wanted no one to escape, for they split up and surrounded the village. Then, all could be heard was screams. "AMBER!" Crispin cried. He ignored the pain shooting through his body and jumped into the image on the floor, falling through.
He gasped in pain, as he landed in the sands of the village. 'It's forbidden to intervene' he remembered, but she was just BORN! he reminded himself. People were backed into corners by the soldiers, women and children alike. Crispin knew he could not be seen, he's not alive anyway. He looked every which way, trying to find the family Amber was born into. AH LUX, where are you?! He screamed inside.
It was then he saw the villagers being pushed into the storage basement of the village. Crispin followed hoping to find out, what was going on. He reach the end of the stair case, and looked in horror. Everyone was stabbed, then pushed into a caldron, being boiled alive. Crispin grasped the wall to keep him from falling. Oh Lux no..no...NO!..Amber... He wanted to cry, thinking he failed. It was then he saw movement near him, and saw a frightened little boy with unusually white hair, watching what was taken place, before his eyes. He held some sort bundle in his arms, tightly against him. In the light of the fire, you could see a small sleeping face, with bright blonde hair glowing from the light. Amber! Thank Lux! He breathed.
Then he looked at the boy, he was maybe 6 or 7 by the way he looked and was staring at the sight before him, holding Amber tight. Crispin looked to see the soldiers just drop in as well, What the hell? A spell? Crispin asked. Finally, he noticed the bottom of the caldron had a tube leading to a hole of sorts in the ground. There the man in noble clothing stood, with four people behind him chanting. From the tube, what looked like gold, a liquid poured out. Crispin bowed his head finally seeing what was happening. Alchemy...that explains the massacre..He thought.
Then, a gold tablet appeared from the ground. The evil from it, could be felt by him and he got sick. The humans picked up the smaller pieces of the tablet, and headed in their direction. The boy! Crispin looked to see the boy was already running up the steps, still holding Amber. Crispin followed him, seeing him running away from the village. They ran til the boy stopped at the edge of a cannon.
The boy had tears falling, with hate on his face. He looked at the baby, and his face softened. "We...*sniff* have to live, Amber. We only got each other now and we can't let mom and dad be forgotten. We can't let the Pharoah get away with this!" he talked to her sleeping form. It was then, that the edge of the cannon collapsed, from under them. The boy screamed as he fell down, trying to protect Amber with his body. He hit hard and blood was on his face, as he lost conciousness. Amber seemed to roll out of the boys', now lose, grip and to the clearing. Amber! Crispin rushed over to her, she was now crying. "It's ok...shhh." he tried to calm her.
"Who's there?" Crispin turned to see a man riding a horse, with many bags tided to it. The man got off of the horse and walked toward Amber. When he saw her, he quickly scooped her like she'd blow away. He looked around, "Hello? Anyone?" he called. With no respond, he looked sweetly at her and saw the blanket, that she was in, was engraved. "Amber, huh? It suits you, child. A shame you were abandoned like this, but I'll look after you little one." He made room for Amber in a basket, making it like a crib. Then he rode off with Amber and leaving the boy, he never saw, in the rubble.
Crispin sighed with relief knowing she would finally be safe. He walked over to the unconscious boy, "I wish I could help you, but I don't have what you seek. Thank you for saving her, you may have helped save creation." He placed his palm on the boys face. The blood disappeared, and a wound, that may become a scar was only left. "It's not much, but please accept it." he turned toward the direction the man with Amber left. "Prepare Amber, and be safe. I'll wait for you." With that, Crispin left the realm.
ok..so it begins...dun dun duh! I think everyone got what just happened, man Amber keeps getting into hellish situations huh. There's a reason for that, I promise! Next ch. will see how Amber is doing, Crispin may make few appearances later, but not for a while.
Crispin: I have to regain my strength so i can help Amber, when she really needs me.
Me: How long will that take?
Crispin: Oh 16 years, give or take
Me: WHATT!? I get why she was mad at you.
Crispin: Only because you made me appear when i did! I can't change that fact i'm not immortal!
Me: Really? I thought I...OH thats right, forgot. NO SPOILERS. (only for friends *wink)
Hope you liked it, please review! :)
